Yes, it is possible to have another child, even if your wife has diabetes However, proper planning is required to ensure a healthy pregnancy for both mother and baby
Before trying for a baby, your wife should undergo these tests to ensure diabetes is well controlled:
HbA1c Test – This checks average blood sugar levels over 3 months. Goal: Below 6.5%.
Thyroid Test (TSH, T3, T4) – To rule out thyroid imbalances.
Kidney Function Test (KFT) – To ensure diabetes has not affected kidney health.
Lipid Profile – To check cholesterol levels.
Folic Acid & Vitamin D Levels – Important for baby’s brain development.
Before conceiving, her blood sugar should be well-controlled for at least 3-6 months.

Methi (Fenugreek) Seeds Water – Soak 1/4tsp overnight, drink in the morning (lowers sugar).
Protein-Rich Diet – Include dal, sprouts, nuts, and paneer 
Avoid Refined Carbs & Sugary Foods – Switch to whole grains like jowar, bajra
Try for pregnancy only when sugar levels are stable for at least 3 months.
Light Exercise (30 min daily) – Walking, prenatal yoga, or breathing exercises.
Reduce Stress – Meditation & deep breathing 
Adequate Sleep 
Meet the gynecologist & diabetologist before conception.

Hello,
Yes definitely can be tried for another child diabetes is not issue 
But proper guidance should be tried
Firstly the sugar level should be in control and proper walk and proper sleep no stress 
Proper intake folic acid before planning to conceive 
As it helps in egg quality improvement and proper development of the foetus so better start before 3 months of planning, 
Thyroid profile test as to be done 
If period is regular that is good enough but if it is irregular then take medicine to regular period.
Exercise and diet plays important role in this .

Thank you

Hello Amit, To assess fertility and a healthy pregnancy, I need to know about your wife's HbA1c levels (long-term sugar control), menstrual regularity, weight, any history of gestational diabetes in the first pregnancy, thyroid levels, and any history of PCOS or reproductive issues. High blood sugar can affect ovulation, egg quality, and pregnancy outcomes, so pre-conception sugar control is essential.  

For Ayurvedic management, she should take Gudmar Churna (½ tsp twice daily) to regulate blood sugar naturally, Shatavari Churna (1 tsp with warm milk at night) to strengthen reproductive health, and Chandraprabha Vati (1 tablet twice daily) for hormonal balance. A low-glycemic diet with whole grains, fiber-rich vegetables, and proteins helps, along with yoga (Baddha Konasana, Supta Baddha Konasana, and Vajrasana after meals) to improve insulin sensitivity. Avoid refined sugar, dairy, and deep-fried foods.
